330 SPORT YACHT
activates a solenoid valve near each reservoir.
When activated, the system injects a concentrated
solution into the seawater as it enters the engine.
The solution effectively neutralizes the salinity of
the seawater and applies a protective coating to
the metal surfaces.
1. To operate, simply engage the “Flush” switch
by pushing and holding the dash-mounted
switch for 45 seconds while running the engine
at idle speed, making sure the engine has an
adequate supply of raw water.
2. Once the Flush switch is engaged, the

leaving a corrosion-inhibiting coating on all
metal surfaces, thereby neutralizing the salin-
ity of incoming seawater.
3. Before disengaging the Flush switch, you must
turn off the engine. For best results, use the
Neutra-Salt Engine Flushing System after ev-
ery trip outing. You will typically get 10 to 15
fl ushes before a refi ll is needed.
Refer to the Neutra-Salt owner’s manual for
specifi c information on the system installed in
your boat. It is important that you completely
understand the system in theory and operation to
achieve the best results. Contact your Monterey
dealer to acquire solution for refi lls.
1.5 Propellers
The outdrive uses dual, counter rotating propel-
lers that convert the engine’s power into thrust.
They come in a variety of styles, diameters and
pitches. Pitch is the theoretical distance traveled
by the propeller in each revolution.
The propellers that will best suit the needs of your
330 Sport Yacht will depend somewhat on your
application and expected average load. Propeller
sizes are identifi ed by a number or code stamped
on the prop. Always repair or replace a propeller
immediately if it has been damaged. A damaged
and therefore out of balance propeller can cause
vibration that can be felt in the boat and could
damage the outdrive gear assembly.
Please refer to the outdrive owner’s manual for
specifi c information on propellers and the proper
installation procedure.
1.6 Performance Issues and Propellers
It is extremely important that the boat is propped
to run at or very near the recommended top RPM
with an average load. If the top RPM is above or
below the recommended range, the propellers
must be changed to prevent loss of performance
and possible engine damage.
Diesel and gas engines can be damaged and the
warranty voided if the boat is not propped cor-
rectly. Always consult your Monterey or autho-
rized engine service dealer when making changes
to the propellers or if the boat does not run near
the top recommended RPM.
